Michelle Williams & Heath Ledger Inspired A New Sundance Film Called 'Blood'

Gerald Williams was a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played for the Yankees, Brewers, Braves, Devil Rays, Marlins, and Mets. Gerald Williams was drafted by the Yankees in 1987 and made his major league debut with the club in 1992. He was known for his speed and defensive skill in the outfield and was nicknamed “Ice.” He was traded by the Yankees late in the 1996 season to the Brewers, so he did not play on the Yankees World Series winning team that year.

Glamour, joyful, dance-filled, and basically, “the best time.” Hadid has about alleged harassment during her time as an “angel” modeling for the lingerie giant. But under the company's to focus on women's diverse bodies and needs, Hadid says her experience has been much different. “I feel empowered again,” she Marie Claire, of her return to the iconic brand.

Rita Ora divulged that she once labelled Jaime as a 'firecracker' - and was left dumbfounded that she didn't guess it was her behind the mask.   The ITV singing competition is back for a third series with Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross returning to the judging chairs while Joel Dommett is back as host.  Saturday night's show saw Dame Joan Collins join the judging panel as a special guest judge.

The Masked Singer. There was a double elimination on tonight's show, with Aled Jones leaving the programme first when he was unmasked as Traffic Cone earlier in the night, and then later followed by the singer. Both fans at home and the judges in the studio - Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Rita Ora, as well as guest judge Dame Joan Collins - were surprised to see the celebrity behind the elaborate costume.

The Masked Singer's Rockhopper has been unmasked as Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams. Michelle, 42, was part of the hit R&B group alongside Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland.The trio were behind hit songs such as Survivor, Solider and Bootylicious. While they formed in 1990, Michelle didn't join the group until 2000, just five years before they decided to go their separate ways.

The director of a new movie inspired by the death of Heath Ledger has revealed how Michelle Williams almost starred in the lead role.

Sigh. We were oh-so close to spotting Kanye West stomping around in snow boots on Main Street. But just a few weeks before the Sundance Film Festival was scheduled to kick off in Park City, Utah, plans got scrapped because of you-know-what. Long gone are the days of celebrities popping into random screenings — fun fact: I once caught James Franco dozing off during a documentary about Scientology — and rationalizing a meal of popcorn and diet Coke for breakfast and chatting to strangers on the local bus about the cool new movie you saw.

Ben Croll Speaking at a panel organized by Paris Images Online, Hélène Dudragne, film commissioner at Film Paris Region, confirmed that four new studios are to be built in Paris and the surrounding area. The announcement came on the heels of a round-table – and weeklong industry gathering – where all too many conversations circled back to the same point: That in order to ensure a continued boom in international production, the country needs new studios, and needs them fast.Shortly after the first lockdowns hit in March 2020, the local industry was able to stabilize rather quickly production output by instituting a rigorous set of safety protocols, earmarking €100 million in insurance funds via private and public backers, and introducing a measure called the “talent passport,” which allowed international citizens to travel back and forth to France with the same ease and requirements as a local.

Reopening old wounds. Michelle Williams‘ real-life tragedy with Heath Ledger inspired the movie Blood, but she decided she couldn’t play the leading lady in the Sundance Film Festival award winner.

The Sundance Film Festival is revealing award winners for its 2022 edition on Friday afternoon beginning at 2 p.m. PT. Like the rest of this year’s festival, which was forced to go all-virtual because of the recent Omicron surge, the awards ceremony is playing out on Twitter.

Filmmaker Jamie Dack is no stranger to film festivals. Her short film about teenage malaise in suburban Southern California “Palm Trees and Power Lines” premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival as a Cinéfondatio selection.

Rahel Romahn has been named the 11th recipient of the Heath Ledger Scholarship, the richest acting prize in Australia.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic“What would you do if you had six months left to live?” asks the doctor who diagnoses a do-nothing bureaucrat with terminal cancer in “Ikiru,” a 1952 masterpiece I suspect precious few of those who see its English-language remake, “Living,” will recall. Quite unlike anything else in Akira Kurosawa’s career, “Ikiru” ranks among the Japanese director’s best: With no samurai battles or set-pieces, the low-key contemporary melodrama raises profound questions about how we choose to spend the limited time we’re afforded, focusing on a stoic functionary about whom even the narrator apologizes, “He might as well be a corpse.”Culturally specific as so much of “Ikiru” may be, its lessons translate quite well to midcentury British society, courtesy of Nobel-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, who did the work of adapting it to 1953 London for director Oliver Hermanus (“Moffie”).

Saturday marked 14 years since the tragically young death of Heath Ledger. The Dark Knight star left behind not just a legacy of untapped cinematic potential but also a 2-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams.
